Einride for the first time publicly demonstrates how remote operators can monitor and control multiple autonomous, electric Pods from a single remote drive station.
Einride said its T-Pod autonomous vehicle weighs 26 metric tons (28.6 U.S. tons) when loaded and does not have a driver cabin, which it estimates reduces road freight operating costs by around 60% versus a diesel truck with a driver.
A platooning project conducted in Germany has demonstrated that the electronically linked system is “safe, technically reliable, and easily applicable in the routine of a logistics company,” according to the project's partners.
Global logistics company DB Schenker reportedly is taking a $25 million stake in U.S.-based uShip, which uses online technology to match freight shippers and carriers.
Online shipping and freight automation provider uShip has partnered with Germany-based global logistics company DB Schenker to power an online trucking platform launching later this year in Europe.
